EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting ruins of Saint Pierre, a village that was tragically devastated by the eruption of Mont Pelee volcano in 1902. Located on the picturesque island of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles, these ruins stand as a somber reminder of a dark chapter in history. The image showcases the remnants of buildings and structures that once thrived with life but now lay abandoned and weathered by time. The vibrant colors of the Caribbean landscape provide a striking contrast to the desolate ruins, creating an eerie yet beautiful scene. The photographer's skillful composition emphasizes both the historical significance and natural beauty surrounding this place. Saint Pierre was once a bustling coastal town known for its charm and local culture. However, it met its tragic fate when Mont Pelee erupted, claiming the lives of approximately 30,000 inhabitants. Today, this site serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives during this catastrophic event. Visiting these ruins is not only an opportunity to witness firsthand the power of nature but also to pay tribute to those affected by this devastating disaster. It offers travelers a unique glimpse into Martinique's past while immersing them in its contemporary atmosphere. Yadid Levy/Robert Harding has masterfully captured both the historical significance and natural beauty found within these ruins at Saint Pierre through his lens. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to resilience amidst tragedy and invites viewers to reflect upon our connection with history and nature alike.
